The election is over, and the net result
is the defeat of three of the Democratic
candidates. Many reasons for this de-
feat might be assigned; but their discus
sion at this time would do no good. We
much prefer to aid in healing old wounds
and in paving the way for a more united
and successful effort in the future. If
personal grievances can be put aside and
proper recognition and aid be given to the
Young Mems Democratic Club ofthis city,
the future of the Democratic party here
promises to be as bright as the past has
been dark and discouraging.

1t is the business of the saliva to digest
starch, and by its alkalinity to stimulate
the secretion Of the gastric juice in the
stomach. 1t is well known that the saliva
is unable to net upon starch in the pres
ence of an acid. Experiments nave shown
that even so small a quantity OF vinegar us
one part in 5000 appreciably diminishes
the action Of saliva upon starch. One
part in 1000 renders it very slow, and
twice the latter quantity arrests it alto
gether. From this it is evident that vine
gar, pickles, salads and other preparations
in which vinegar is used are unwholesome,
especially when taken with farinaceous
food, such as bread and other grain prepa-
rations. There is n popular notion that
by the use of vinegar a tendency to In
crease In flesh may be antagonized. The
physiological fact that fat is largely formed
from the starchy elements Of grains and
vegetables rather supports the popular no
ton; but this method of reducing weight
should not be encouraged, as the loss OF
flesh Is secured ut the expense of good di-
gestiou food Health.

No matter how experienced In the prac-
lice IL lawyer may be, If he occupies the
bench he finds many new points of which
previously he had no knowledge. He
views litigation from a different stand
point, placing both sides on an equal foot
ing, whereas as an attorney he looked
only OF one side of the question at issue.
A new judge Of course has more work to
do than one who has fallen into the routine
part of judicial duty. In his anxiety 10

or insignificant points that an experienced
judge learns TO eliminate from his consid-
Grafton OF the case, He IL on the qui vive
to catch everything that is going on, and
hence finds himself very tired after hear

We formed a partnership in crime which
lasted nearly seven years, during which
we pcrpctrated over fifty burglaries. In

According to II correspondent of The
New York Commercial Advertiser, the
largest house in the world engaged in the
collection of medicinal herbs, roots, barks,
gums and berries is conducted by two
brothers at Statesville, n. G.
These brothers do u business of 800, 900
II year, handling more than . 900 varieties,
weighing upwards Of 10000 900 pounds.
Shortly after the war they started bust
ness in IL very small way. At first they
dealt chiefly in ginseng, for which there is
always Il big demand in China. Snake
root was also looked after, and the bust
ncs, grew to such an extent that the
brothers secured the services of IN emf
nent botanist.
The traffic increased, until 10000 per-
sons are kept busy collecting herbs and
delivering them to 400 OF 800 different
stores scattered over some thirty counties

lectors are chiefly women, children and old

What has wrought The change in tie
climate of eastern Colorado aud western
Kansas That question cannot be acCd
rately answered. III winds blow from
the same direction they formerly did, but
they are not siroccol like. The rain storms
come from the west generally, and in the
past the west wlnd was dry wind. In my
opinion the change is due to the extensive
irrigation Of the land lying along the east
ern lase of the Rocky mountains. Great
rivers, which head In the perpetual snow
banks of those mighty ranges, have been
turned into irrigation bitches. and the
water which formerly ran wnstefully To
the Gull Of Mexico has been turned on to
the arid plains. There il soaks into the
soil. The wine sweeping over the land
sucks up "a large portion of it. There Is
moisture in the air, and it l. precipitated
as rain on the plains Of eastern Colorado
and western Kansas. So extensively Il
irrigation practiced In Colorado that almost
all the water was taken out of the South
Platte river last year. Fifty miles east
ward from Denver the stream WAS IL tiny
ill. As II is with the South Platte so IT
il with less important streams, and SO it
soon will be with streams Of larger volume.
The day when the Arkansas river will be
turned ON to the plains, every inch Of 1t, is
plainly in sight.
The system OF irrigation which has been
applied to the lane lying along the eastern
base Of the Rocky mountains is now being
applied to the western slope and 10 the
arid basin lying between the Rocky noun
tains and the Sierra Nevada range In IA
few ycars the water which now flows
wastcfully into the Colorado and the Co
lumbia will he taken from the branches of
those large streams and used to irrigate
arid land. II is highly probable thai the
climate Of the whole Rocky mountain
region will be changed in the near future,
and changed by the irrigation of the land
lying west Of it. More rain will fall in
the highlands during the summer. The
streams which drain the eastern slopes
will remain full longer. More water will
be expended OH the plains, and more rain
will fall In Colorado and eastern Kansas.
The arid zone will practically disappear.
